If that's the case, then we have been hit by an hard case of
Woolseyism, but I still don't understand why then they didn't just made Asuka yell something like "Just shut up, Shinji you brat!", that still show the fact that she's completely unwilling to try to talk with Shinji, but without making her a murderous berserker.
Or maybe the western distributors felt that western audience won't take well the fact that Shinji pulled out the spears instead of surrendering(especially since his co-pilot was telling him to stop), and so changed Asuka's line into a murderous attempt to make Shinji looks like he's even more put against a corner : even if he followed Kaworu's pleas and stopped right here, WILLE was still hell bent on killing him, so there was no turning back possible.
But that made the final scene were she seemingly ran to check on him and later took him with her, thus saving his life, completely jarring, and there is the fact that during the fight Shinji made it clear that he didn't wanted to trigger 4I and Instrumentality(even though he was actually manipulated into doing exactly that), giving even less reasons to Asuka to want to kill him.
Nuke-kun, while your memories are still fresh, do you remember what was the translation of
Kaworu's lines when he explained Shinji's role in 3I :
00:51:48 {Kaworu} Ikari Shinji-kun,
00:51:50 {Kaworu} once Awakened, Eva-01 opened the Door of Guf
00:51:55 {Kaworu} and became the trigger for Third Impact.
00:51:58 {Kaworu} Lilin call it Near Third Impact.
00:52:02 {Kaworu} It was all initiated by you.
and
00:52:10 {Shinji} All I wanted to do was save Ayanami!
00:52:16 {Kaworu} True, but that was the catalyst.
Also, the term he used to describe the FoIs while descending through the Main Shaft with EVA-13, and finally his line about Lilith's Chamber being the "epicenter/origin" of 3I?
Now, about
Mari :
- what did she said about Rei Q "becoming/being absorbed" by Mark.09?
- just after that, was was her comment about Rei's "original"?
- Finally, what was her line while ejecting Shinji about "saving/helping the Princess"?
Finally, about
Asuka again, what did she said when she opened Shinji's entry plug, her "you didn't come to save/help me"?
Thanks you very much!
